Custom Model Railroad Construction Services
This Santa Fe freight is drawn by a diminutive Alco switcher on a TT scale portable layout designed and built for a train shop in Kansas. It represents a small town in rural Kansas in the early 1960's served by an ATSF granger branch.
Since 1994, the RailDreams Team has been building award-winning model railroads for both commercial display and individuals. Under the leadership of Richard Taylor, NMRA Master Model Railroader #237, Raildreams has developed innovative techniques for layout construction that allow for solid construction and yet light weight and portability. Using modern materials such as foam, lightweight laminates, and modern electronics, RailDreams layouts are truly state-of-the-art.
Most important to the descerning model railroader, a finished RailDreams layout is truly a unique work of art, not mass produced in any way. Each layout is designed to be a reflection of the desires of the owner and the artistic skills of the RailDreams Team. Every effort is made to make sure that the customers needs are met in the era modeled, the season of the year, and the enivironment of the area the railroad will service.Unlike any other form of railroad art, there is no numbered production of a particular railroad, these layouts are truly individual works of art signed by the individuals that made them.
Benchwork:
At RailDreams we only use the best of materials, including sterling grade pine and fur, Dow Corning Styrofoam and Fibreglas Pink Foam (no poor quality bead board). We use birch and oak laminated Phillipine Luan plywood laminate for substrate and all wood surfaces are liberally coated with sealer for moisture protection.Benchwork is constructed in logical modules to allow for ease in delivery to your home or business. If you desire, we can also design layout benchwork for temporary display at train shows at malls, exhibition centers, stores, etc. All benchwork is both glued together as well as screwed for great strength and durability. This comes from years of experience with moving layouts to and from train shows.
Trackwork:
RailDreams uses only the finest track made by Pilz, Walthers/Shinohara, Gargraves, American Models, PBL, and Micro Engineering. However, we can also use any track you may already own if it is good , like-new condition.
